The Network Matters for IP Storage

Mike Simons speaks to Brian Levy, European CTO, Brocade about storage and the network.

Do we still need a separate storage area network?

"In a storage network, if you lose a connection during the time of a complex backup task, with rewrite cycles happening all the time, often you might have to start the whole process again or worse you can lose data" Levy says.

We have been hearing for years how CIOs and senior IT professionals need to bury the hatchet with line of business managers and, instead of focusing on the latest bleeding-edge technology for its own sake, seek to better understand the overall strategic objectives of their organisations.
